This is definatly good. TWC on the cable systems was so much better because they show the local area's radar and forecast when they show the local on the 8's. The satellite one just shows a national one and doesnt get much out of it.
At least with Directv is pretty universal on the satellte you need. Dish Network has so many diferent combinations its quite confusing. You got Dish 500, Dish 1000, Superdish, and then you got the new dish's that work for that 118.7 Dish.
